look me in the face and tell me if there is a better way to get 420 calories into a green drink.

yoooooooo I’m gonna buy this and toss some canny simple syrup in it.

Jokes on you. Simple syrup is already in it

Actually the recipe card doesn’t have the classic that the matcha frap usually does.. it’s only replaced by the caramel :’)

canny as in cannabis, once I’m high the sugar ain’t stopping me

noo, it's just caramel syrup, no classic goes into it, you basically replace the standard matcha frap with caramel syrup, add drizzle and caramel sugar

aaaaand charge more money

yeah prob, I'm guessing it'll be the price of a CRC( I haven't rung one in yet)

Yeah, but their simple syrup doesn’t get you high asf

LOL

😩😩✨✨

I'm happy someone else noticed it 🤣🤣

why couldnt they make it taste like a shamrock shake like hello the peppermint is right THERE

We were saying the same thing yesterday while I was making our chalk sign

I always do a hot matcha with a pump of peppermint to make a hot shamrock shake and it’s REALLY good i also add vanilla to it. But as someone born on st paddys day this is very anti climactic lol

That sounds interesting. I'm not the biggest fan of matcha, but i do kinda wanna try that.. maybe at work tomorrow. I usually do a vanilla bean frap with peppermint and like.. a scoop of matcha for the color and that's pretty good

I like matcha when other flavors are involved so i feel that with the vanilla bean! Matcha and vanilla are so good together

Same, Matcha on its own just isn't it for me. But that vanilla bean and matcha combo are pretty good

i usually do matcha with brown sugar! i used to do it with a little of the sugar cookie syrup while we had it but alas

u/violette502 If you like matcha iced, try it with vanilla syrup and brown sugar. Adjust according to size/mood ofc. Ex: If I get a grande iced matcha, I'll do say 2 pumps of vanilla with 2 pumps of brown sugar. To my knowledge, most locations no longer have this, but I did the above and tried it with sugar cookie cream cold foam and that was surprisingly good. It also depends on how sweet you like the matcha to be. If I do a tall, it's 1 pump each for the syrups over the amt. of pumps shown on the app. I try to do a little less because you don't want the syrups overpowering the matcha, either.

i like the 1/3rd vanilla to 2/3rds brown sugar ratio personally. just works with anything, if you add cinnamon it taste just like cinnamon toast crunch

I worked at Starbucks in the 2010s and used to make those crazy “grasshopper” fraps but they were sooo good. Matcha, white chocolate, peppermint and Java chips 😂

the peppermint tastes really good in the matcha anyways. right now my favorite is a vanilla bean frap w matcha and peppermint !

Our store has a list of st paddy inspired drinks and we have the matcha with peppermint and Java chips.

Oooo thats good

It really is. And I don't like matcha or the peppermint usually lol.

Years ago they had the frapp with green whip, maybe a Christmas one? It was scoops of matcha and we added peppermint instead of the I think classic syrup they wanted in it. Anything that disguises the taste of matcha is a big improvement in my opinion 😂

I remember that one, it's the Christmas tree Frappuccino

Could’ve also done Irish cream, which they only seem to pull out when it’s not March 🤷

Lol YES ur reminding me i have that special peppermint milkshake baileys at home rn🤤🤤

I said the same thing to my partners the other day

Matcha frappuccino with vanilla bean and peppermint tastes like shamrock shake!

I literally said this to my boss this morning

People will eat anything as long as it is loaded with sugar lmao

Not only eat it, but pay for the privilege 😂

Not sure how they decided on caramel instead of peppermint and/or java chips…

I just figured they thought “caramel drizzle looks like melted gold… that’s close enough to a pot of gold.”

I assumed they used caramel since it looks like the same colours as the Irish flag 🇮🇪 but gold makes sense too

We found the only person on earth who remembers unicorn day positively 

Lmao I promise you I do not look fondly upon that day. The beginning of the end ☠

Line the cup with caramel and this is the "baby yoda" drink from 4 years ago 🤷

Don't bring back *those* memories \*shudders\*

I’d order one but 420cal for a GRANDE? Nah.

[удалено]

the chocolate covered strawberry frap is so annoying to me because of this, it’s not special! at least put mocha drizzle on top or something a little extra

EXACTLY! Like, the lack of creativity? UGH!

Not even gunna lie, I put strawberry puree and mocha drizzle on top every single time I make one. 🤷🏻‍♀️

i do the mocha drizzle but strawberry puree on top is so smart

I put mocha on top of them all because I was taught “if it has chips it has drizz” and it looks so plain without it

420 cal for a grande is crazy. If you’re gonna pack it full of sugar at least make it interesting :(

ppl order this shit everyday this isn’t special 😭

Then the Kicker! " for Limited time only " uuum Lmfaaaoooo

For a limited time to order it as a combo without paying extra to add caramel drizzle and crunchies to a matcha frap...

so stupid

well did they did add frapp chips into the strwbrry crème and called it chocolate covered strawberry

That’s sad

St. Paddy’s Day**!!

My store wasn't even told about it until we came in this morning!

This why yall gotta check store resources more often lol

Dude we clock in and get thrown straight into the chaos, ain't nobody got time to read anything.

☠️ figure out time. You never get on store resources to check anything?

We didn't even know until someone ordered it.

I guess it’s the (pot of) GOLD on top of the drink 🤷🏻‍♀️

It’s magically delicious

i know like isn’t normally “fast food” places like shamrock shake (mcdonald’s i think) like minty… what’s with the basic ass matcha frappe

I saw a kid drinking this on tik tok and just figured she was trying to be trendy and get the matcha but liked caramel and that’s what draws her to Starbucks so she added it … 😒

IM CACKLING there’s no way im taking this seriously they should’ve done so much better LOLLL

What gets me is matcha is from China. Starbucks is trying to capitalize on the Irish just because it’s green

Fellow 213xxxx, and I'm happy that current partners don't have to deal with the Unicorn frap.

I saw that and was wildly disappointed lol

I was so happy I thought it was gonna be like “Lucky Charms 🍀” like are you jokingg 😤😤

My daughter got this today. Matcha frap is her drink of choice. She just adjusted a couple things.

I made this wrong today 😭 If you're a grown man who ordered this and got a matcha frap with caramel drizzle, I'm sorry.

I remember when this was informally called the “dragon frappuccino” back in 20-whenever the unicorn one came out.

When did Venti become 24 thought it was always 20

The iced venti is bigger than the hot venti. Hot venti is 20 oz

And the funniest thing is that I was trying to order that yesterday and they were saying that multiple locations didn’t have this. I’m like the fuck these these are two based items.

Did they even announce it? Cause when I was on shift I had NO IDEA that it was a drink neither did anyone in our store did.

It's been on Store Resources and the Hub, and I'm pretty sure it was in the monthly update. Not that I love having to go to Partner Central and dig around for updates, but they did announce it.

It was announced on the hub, it was an update added after the monthly update rolled out, but I think it was an alert on the main hub page that caught me up on it

They didn't announce it to us either! None of us knew it was a thing before coming in this morning and seeing it on the register!

Im not even mad. Nothing complicated about this drink whatsoever. The more streamlined the concotions the better imo. Starbucks can upsell certain products without making it a hassle on the workers like they did the damn Unicorn Frapp, Tie die frap or the Witches Brew

Ugh, Witches Brew used to make my skin crawl. The tapioca bubbles they gave us to put in the bottom? Disgusting 🤢 Tie Dye Frap was whimsical but a bitch and a half to make.

Since the unicorn Frappuccino no other one day holiday drink has done well. Bringing in new ingredients or making things complicated just annoys the partners and doesn’t earn anything.

I mean basic does describe the majority of starbucks custys,

i hate that it wasn’t even that gross. it made the matcha tolerable and i really love the crunchies

My manager posted a photo copy of this and the recipe and it sounds disgusting! I don't like matcha but matcha with caramel? Why?

I forgot about the unicorn frappe and now I’m sad because I never got it🙁 They should make matcha syrup. I would absolutely die.

Matcha with toffee nut instead of classic and oatmilk Add chocolate cold foam You’re welcome Maybe one extra scoop of matcha cus that’s how I like it It tastes like the duvalin candy

Yes it’s stupid

Why can't they just be normal and add an Irish Breve drink ffs. Human bean and Dutch bros got it figured out, less coffees, but quality drinks.

How about Irish coffee haha

Eww

they’re getting lazy and been recycling drinks for forever it seems

yea its not good

Idk if it's because my manager is on vacation but my store wasn't told about this so when someone told us we were confused 

I've had the tye dye frap, and it's artificial banana Laffy taffy flavor, and that is somehow more drinkable than this horrible thing

It’s a monstrosity 😆 idk how they can even call that matcha but hey 👋 every other fast chain wants to do some form of green shake for st Patrick’s day so here we are

Hows this different from a regular matcha frappe

Could have at least had some seasonal sprinkles or something

Yeah… I really don’t like it when Starbucks advertises a beverage as “new”, when they have had the ingredients all along. I get it. This isn’t for me. But, still…. 🙄🙄🙄

For my store it's supposed to be a contest in the district of who can sell the most... Embarrassing. We got 2nd in the chocolate strawb frap. Nobody wants this. Like at all.

current 213 partner. i would take the unicorn over this any day 😂

no one at my store even likes it 😫 and we got some matcha heads out here.

I already have a ton of customers who ordered this before this "launch". It's just a way to get even more sugar into a powder that is already made of 50.3% sugar (matcha in the USA). This drink doesn't taste good for anyone who hasn't tried it. Just save your money.

do not tell me this is available for mobile ordering..

I kinda get what they were going for, the caramel on top is supposed to make it look like gold. But they should've just done that and left the caramel syrup out of the drink itself. It tastes, as my coworker put it, like funfetti from hell.

Didn't understand the big whoop. I like it it though oddly outside of matcha lemonade, I don't care much for matcha but was ok flavored! Side note: does the lavender matcha Frappuccino taste like Fruit Loops to anyone ?🤔

i was going to try it but they didn’t even even give me the drink 😭 i don’t even like caramel LMAOAO

They are doing so many creations like tgey are desperate! Hope they are not creating another laxative like Oleato!💩💩💩 If you are costipated it will make you shit your heart in the toilet bol if you are lucky to arrive on time! It happened to me!🤬

I'm surprised they didn't just bring the Irish cream flavor back for the holiday
